By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.— The question
of a strike of the firemen on the Erie
system because of the refusal of that
company to grant the men's demands
for reduced working hours Is now be

If f the firemen vote to uphold th.c
grievance committee a strike that will
affect the Erie road and all Its sub
sidiary lines from New York to Ch

Besides the 1600 firemen on the road
there are 676 locomotive engineers who
have been promoted from the ranks of
the firemen and who still carry fire
men's union cards. These engineers
also will vote on the question.
At the headquarters today there were

Human I lectricity

Wires
When Circuit Is Formed
Sound Waves Are
Heard
San Francisco Man Bwallows Elec
trodes, and by Retaining Them
Several Minutes Completes
Interesting Experiment
By Associated Vress
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.— Before
a number of medical men and scientists
today Drs. Albert .1. Atkins and B,
J. Dewls succceeded In charging an
electrical circuit with human electricity
to such a degree that .external sound
waves were transmitted and heard
through an ordinary telephone re
ceiver.
The experiment consisted of the ap
plication of two platinum electrodes to
the walls of a living stomach. By
means of copper wires the electrodes
were connected with a telenhono and
microphone, a sensitive Instrument
which greatly Intensifies sound.
There was absolutely no mechanical
or chemical battery In the circuit, yet
the moment the electrodes were swal
lowed sufficiently to touch the walls
of the stomach, human electricity
flowed over the wires, rendering sounds
audible. The electric charge measured
from seven to eight mllli-volts on a
Weston galvanometer.
Colonel E. P. Richardson, the subject
of the experiment, swallowed the
electrodes and succeeded In retaining
them for a considerable time. After
a brief rest he was given a drink of
whisky and on again connecting the
electrodes with the Interior lining of
hlB stomach, the galvanometer reglst-
I ered 15 milli-volts.
Drs. Atkins and Lewis claim that
by this experiment they have demon
strated the law of action of the human
senses. They reason that If sound Is
transmitted over a copper wire when
It is charged with human electricity,
It is reasonable to consider the prin
ciple the same when the auditory
nerve is charged with the same force.
In other words, we hear when the
auditory nerve Is made sensitive with
human electricity, on the same prin
ciple by which we receive a telephone
message.
Furthermore, these scientists claim
that by a series of experiments they
have proven that digestion is an elec
tro-chemlc process; that all life action
in the body is dependent upon the.
activity of the electrical forces within
the organism, that variations of sense
manifestation as sight, hearing, etc.,
are caused by the different rates of vi
bration set up by the human electrical
currents, acting on the special sense
nerves.
THEATERS TO

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.— The Tribunb to

"The most gigantic theatrical com

"The new combination is to include
350 of the most important theaters In
the United States and will be repre
sented in every city from New York
to San Francisco and from Portland
to New Orleans, will dictate matters
of bookings, tours of all big compa
nies and, In a word, do the theatrical
business of the United States, if not
the world. Although the combination
Is still in the process of formation the
following interests are slated to go
into it:
"Klaw & Erlanger, Daniel Frohman,
Charles Frehman, Al Hayman, Nixon

Orpheum circuit. It Is estimated by
some of the managers who expect to
go Into the new combination that the
properties controlled by the corpora
tion will value far in excess of J50.000,

"According to present plans a new
